Chapter 4 — After Conceding the Marriage, I Became a Royal Concubine

In my previous life, after I married him, he always said that husband and wife don't need to be so strange to each other. Now that we call it that, he has no stance to correct it. Ky Duc moved his lips, Ngu Nhu's cough was heard in the interior, he immediately turned his head.

"Let's go in and see her first."

Ky Hoan leaned over to make way, I didn't move. Ky Duc walked a few steps, then turned to look at me, as if he thought I would be heartbroken. But I just bowed my head and looked at my sleeves. Ky Hoan suddenly asked in a low voice:

“Are you cold?”

I shook my head. He didn't ask further, just slightly moved half a step aside, blocking the wind blowing in from the hallway on my behalf. In the main courtyard, people came and went non-stop. No one cares for us. After waiting for a long time, Mrs. Ky came out. She looked tired and just waved her hand at me and Ky Hoan.

“No more tea today, Nhu Nhi's body is more important, let's leave it for another day.”

The captain in the back was so angry that he wanted to speak up. We keep her. Ky Hoan opened his mouth again:

“Mother, the ceremony can be changed, but the tea cannot stay cold forever.”

Lady Ky frowned:

“What do you mean?”

Ky Hoan bowed his head and said respectfully:

"Today, I have come to the main courtyard. If there were no elders to accept the tea, it would be inevitable for the outside world to say that the Marquis looked down on the Ngu family."

Lady Ky's face darkened. Ky Duc came out from the interior and upon hearing this sentence, his eyebrows also frowned.

“Ah Hoan, Nhu Nhi is sick, why should I worry at this time?”

Ky Hoan looked at him:

“Brother, the sick person is the crown prince's wife, not the mother.”

This word is not heavy. But the whole main house was quiet. Finally, Mrs. Ky also sat down on the main seat. I brought the tea forward. She received it very quickly and rewarded him with a pair of jade bracelets. Not precious. But the ceremony was completed. Leaving the main courtyard, A Uy's eyes lit up.

“You were so amazing just now.”

Ky Hoan looked calm:

“It's just a rule.”

I looked at him:

“Thank you.”

He bowed his head and looked at me.

"If you don't want to have tea today, I won't open my mouth. I saw you still standing there, so I thought you wanted to finish the ceremony."

The bit of bitterness in my heart slowly dissipates. Turns out he didn't make the decision for me. He's looking to see what I want. In the afternoon, Ngu Nhu ordered someone to deliver a plate of cinnamon flower cakes. She said she couldn't have tea with me this morning, feeling very guilty. I look at that breakfast plate. In her previous life, she often gave me things. Every time she received Ky Duc's favor, she turned around and gave her something to make up for it. I told A Uy to take it. Ky Hoan took a look:

“You like it?”

I shook my head:

“She likes it.”

Ky Hoan immediately told A Uy to take it away.

“Then share it with the people in the hospital.”

I looked at him. He was cleaning an old sword, looking as usual.

“If you don't like it, you don't need to show it to your face.”

This statement is too simple. But it takes a long time to learn.

Ky Hoan at the Marquis Palace was not taken seriously. During the family banquet on the third day after the wedding, we saw it very clearly. Ky Hau asked Ky Duc what books he had read recently, and asked who he had associated with at Lai Bo. Also asked if Ngu Nhu's body was better. When it was Ky Hoan's turn, he simply said one sentence:

“The position in the other army, if you don't want to go then refuse to go.”

Lady Ky immediately frowned:

“It doesn't matter whether it wants or doesn't want anything, after leaving it will only suffer.”

Ky Hoan put down his chopsticks:

“I want to go.”

There was silence at the table for a moment. Ky Duc looked him:

"The border business is cold and hard, since I was a child I have never endured such hardship, why do I need to try harder?"

In a previous life, after the Ky family fell, Ky Duc also said the same thing. He was escorted out of the capital. After less than half a day, he began to have a fever. At that time, he leaned against the abandoned temple wall, looking extremely miserable. He said he had never endured such suffering. But Ky Hoan survived at the border. A person who has never been respected by his family can, on the contrary, endure more than all of them. Finally, Ky Hau also took a look at Ky Hoan.

“If you really want to go, then go.”

Lady Ky did not agree:

“Old man.”

Ky Hau waved his hand:

“Let it try.”

That tone is not acceptable. Which is like chasing away. Ngu Nhu said in a low voice:

“If the second brother goes to the border camp, won't A Kieu have to take care of himself?”

This statement is meant as a joke. Ky Duc immediately looked at me. I raised my head, just in time to meet his eyes. There was some complexity in his eyes. Perhaps he remembered another path that never happened. I picked up a chopstick of green vegetables.

“The husband has political matters, of course I won't stop him.”

Ky Hoan looked at me. His eyes were very light, but stopped for a moment. Ky Duc's face paled a bit. Ngu Nhu's smile also stiffened. She wanted to see me in trouble. But we don't have it. After dinner, Ky Hoan took me back to the hospital. Halfway there, he opened his mouth:

"I should have discussed it with you in advance."

I look at the stone steps below:

“Do you want to go?”

“Want.”

“Let's go then.”

He stopped walking:

“You didn't ask why?”

I raised my head to look at him:

“If you want to speak, you will naturally speak.”

Ky Hoan lowered his head to look at me, not moving for a long time. The wind blew through the hallway, his sleeve gently touched the back of my hand, and quickly moved away.

"There are some old people at the border camp, I want to look up an old story."
